For them teaching mathematics and science to African children was not acceptable,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Adams College was officially opened in 1853 and is the oldest school to educate black students in KwaZulu-Natal.<\/p>\n<p>Former students at the school include former African National Congress presidents John L Dube, Pixley ka Isaka Seme and Albert Luthuli as well as founding president of the ANC Youth League, Anton Lembede.<\/p>\n<p>ANC\u2019s founding president John Langalibalele Dube attended the school in 1881.<\/p>\n<p>Zuma also announced plans to reposition schools like Adams College as &#8220;premier educational, technical, sports, arts, culture and leadership institutions in South Africa and the continent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;
